vocatium Hanover

vocatium Hannover is an annual trade fair focused on education and career opportunities, offering young people personalized and well-founded career guidance. Since 2008, it has been organized by the IfT Institute for Talent Development, a specialist in career planning and professional development that hosts fairs at over 80 locations across Germany.

A distinctive feature of vocatium Hannover is its system of pre-scheduled meetings between students, university attendees, job seekers, and representatives from companies, universities, and other institutions. This structured format allows for in-depth consultations, tailored career recommendations, and efficient networking with potential employers and educational organizations.

The fair provides comprehensive information on key topics such as career orientation and training, including detailed insights into apprenticeships and dual study programs, as well as academic paths with individual study counseling. Visitors also receive practical tips on applications, CV writing, cover letters, job interviews, and assessment centers.

A standout element of the event is the MINT Forum, which offers deeper insights into mathematics, IT, natural sciences, and technology. Interactive features such as hands-on stations and science slams make these subjects particularly engaging and relevant to real-world applications. Additionally, the fair addresses forward-looking fields such as digitalization, international career opportunities, and professions focused on sustainability and technology.

The venue is the Hannover Congress Centrum (HCC), a versatile event center located near the city park. This setting not only ensures a professional atmosphere for the fair but also offers the chance for relaxing breaks in one of Hannover’s most beautiful green spaces.

Another highlight is the speed-dating format with companies and educational institutions, which enables participants to make numerous new connections in a short time. vocatium Hannover has established itself as a major platform offering students, graduates, early-career professionals, parents, and teachers a wide range of perspectives for both professional and personal development.

The vocatium will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 27. May to Thursday, 28. May 2026 in Hanover.
